Sungrow Supplies Bangladesh's Largest PV Plant

DHAKA, Bangladesh, Dec. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, signed the largest PV inverter contract, totaling 280MW DC with Rays Power Infra, a leading integrated solar power company, to build the largest solar power plant in the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Sungrow provides the industry-leading central inverter solution as well as the comprehensive on-site and post-sale service.

This solar power plant is located in Sundarganj, Rangpur District, on the banks of the river Teesta. Extreme humidity is a major consideration affecting this plant's efficient operation. Sungrow, anticipating this challenge, provided the 1500V 3.125 MW central inverter, one of the most popular central inverters around the world, which successfully supplied many significant utility-scale projects in comparable climates. The 3.125MW central inverter boasts high IP65 standard, and thus guarantees efficient and unimpaired power generation—even in river Teesta region of 90% humidity. Besides, Sungrow's localized service team provides the high-quality service throughout the construction and commission procedure.

Guaranteed by Sungrow's tailored solutions and services, this plant will deliver grid connection in April, 2022 and by then will annually generate 395GWh clean electricity, offsetting around 316 thousand tons of CO2, power over 200,000 households and provide more than 1200 employment opportunities for Bangladeshis.

SP Sharma, Vice President of Rays Power Infra, expressed that: "We greatly appreciate your efficiency in providing best products and after sales services.

Sungrow has been cooperating with reliable partners like Rays Power Infra, and previous projects prove successful. This 280 MW DC contract further enhances the mutual partnership between the two companies, and opens broader prospect for future cooperation", said Mr. Sunil Badesra, International Director, Sungrow.

On the recent COP26, Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made a commitment to having 2.3 GW of solar power by 2030. The government also targets to generate 40% of the country's total electricity by 2050 from renewables.
